FS: Kenwood TS790A satellite transceiver
by John Geiger 05 Nov '08

05 Nov '08

I have a top of the line Kenwood all mode satellite rig for sale. The price include shipping in the US, but can be reduced for pickup in Lawton, OK. It is a Kenwood TS790A VHF/UHF transceiver. It does 45 watts on 2m and 35 watts on 70cm CW/SSB/FM. It does do dual receive, satellite tracking functions, and tone encode. Not sure about tone decode. This is one of the best satellite and weak signal radios ever made. QST gave it rave reviews in their product review and said it was an excllent VHF/UHF contest radio. You can work 144.200 and 432.100 at the same time, and you can also add the optional 1.2ghz module for a triband radio. It comes with a hand mic, power cord, and a copy of the manual. Asking $675. 73s John AA5JG

It is in daily use at OZ7SAT - 24/7 on our automatic, unmanned ground station. I made a release of PB/PG for Linux in January of this year. It may be found several places: http://www.fern.dk/?PB%2FPG (the main site) ftp://ftp.amsat.org/amsat/software/Linux/pbpg-2.2.1.tar.gz ftp://www.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/apps/ham/pbpg-2.2.1.tar.gz > I always thought the pacsat > protocol was a very interesting concept and is a piece of technology > that deserves to live on. I have at several occations tried to persuade some of the Cubesat people to use this protocol, but so far to no avail. Best 73 de Bent/OZ6BL maintainer of PB/PG for Linux
